Daoud Kuttab, a columnist for Al-Monitor news website, tells Al Jazeera the killing of two more journalists , Hamza Dahdouh and Mustafa Thuraya, is “a despicable act, one that has to be denounced by anyone”.
“The journalism sector must demand an investigation into Israel and that Israel opens the border for international journalist, as well as for Israel to stop targeting journalist” he said from Jordan’s capital Amman.
“It is a very sad day. Firstly because for 90-something days we have not been able to allow a single international journalist to enter Gaza. The Israelis have been blackmailing the Egyptians to not allow any international journalists to enter,” Kuttab said.
“So the only source of information has been Palestinian journalist and the Israelis have been killing them one after the other. Killing the journalists, killing the families of journalists – this is unacceptable. This is a violation of international law. Going after civilians is a war crime.”
